Is the fear of being anywhere south of Red Deer or north of the United States border into Alberta.
Symptoms often include IQ's dropping 100 points, necks spontaneously enflaming and turning red, an enormous spike in arrogance, and the craving to put on a cowboy hat and hump his/ her sibling.

The only cure to this phobia is to keep heading north to Edmonton where the people are classy, the sports teams are better and more passionate, the shopping centres are superior, and the river valley is beautiful.
